Silentsailor, thanks :)

Adamb, that sounds awesome! I didn’t expect much from Rice’s residential system but it’s sounding better and better. Almost like Hogwarts It’ll definitely be something I consider over Pomona.

So far, this is what I have:

Both are virtually identical in-
*Weather
*Student Body
*Life Quality
*Retention Rate
*Campus Dorms and Food
*Endowments
*Financial Aid
*Academic Quality
*Prestige
*Intellectuality

Pomona has the edge in
*The Claremont Consortium
*General Location

Rice has the edge in
*Residential Life
*Absolute location
*Convenience

This is so hard I really wish I can apply to both but I’m facing some personal, time, and financial issues right now…Do you think I can ask them for an extension?
